"Do not... please do not act rashly!" Soya quickly waved his hands.
"Save your breath!" Heles snorted, a flash of disdain in her eyes, "You think I can be trapped by such a little thing? What a joke!"
"This... please be cautious, this cube is very special." Soya advised earnestly, his tone sincere.
"Hmph, stop nagging!" Heles ignored Soya's advice, directly gathering Destruction Energy. A circle of purplish-red light surrounded her body as she intended to destroy this cube.
Even if she couldn't completely destroy it, she could at least break an opening to get out, or so Heles believed.
However, after Heles gathered her Destruction Energy, she suddenly felt her own Destruction Energy vanish completely, as if it had been inexplicably absorbed by the cube without leaving a single trace.
Heles immediately felt a wave of weakness throughout her body, her face turning pale.
"You... what exactly have you done to me? I feel my energy has all gone into your body." Heles's voice was low, her expression changing repeatedly, her eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion.
"Please don't say that." Soya instantly panicked, hurriedly denying, waving his hands repeatedly, "You can't say such things carelessly!"
What do you mean your energy went into my body?
What you said is very easy to misunderstand, you know?
You should say my energy went into your body, although that's not right either, but it's still better than what you said.
"Isn't it? My energy disappeared, and you look completely fine." Heles snorted coldly, glaring at Soya with anger, her eyes filled with hostility.
"Negative emotional value from Heles +888!"
"It went into my body, no, I mean your Destruction Energy was all supplied to this cube, equivalent to charging this flying cube, making it faster, more accurate, and more vicious." Soya hurriedly explained, trying to make Heles understand the truth.
Heles: "..."
You said making the cube faster is one thing, but adding 'more accurate and more vicious', isn't that a bit excessive?
This cube isn't some weapon, why would it need to be more accurate and more vicious?
Heles felt utterly speechless inside.
"What's going on? Why was my energy absorbed by this cube? What exactly is this cube made of?" Heles asked with a frown, her eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
"Well..." Soya didn't know how to answer this question.
He couldn't very well tell her it was the System's doing.
"It must be that I gathered too little Destruction Energy. This time I will unleash all my Destruction Energy. I refuse to believe I cannot break free from such a small thing." Heles snorted coldly, clearly not believing Soya's words. She was about to unleash all her Destruction Energy, the purplish-red light around her body becoming more intense.
"Do not... doing that will harm..." Soya urgently said, trying to stop her.
Soya originally meant to say: Doing that will harm your body.
But halfway through his sentence, he was interrupted by Heles.
"Save your breath!" Heles grunted, Destruction Energy surging wildly from her body.
Then, Heles immediately seemed as if she had been tormented 1000 times. Her body showed extreme weakness, her face as pale as paper, and even her breathing became somewhat labored.
All of Heles's energy had been sucked away by the flying cube, not a single bit remained.
Heles: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Heles +1000!"
Heles felt like she wanted to die.
What on earth is going on?
I've never heard of a flying cube absorbing energy before, and the energy of a Destroyer at that, this is just too outrageous!
"You... you must have done this on purpose... I can't move now, you can do whatever you want to me." Heles let out a helpless sigh, her voice faint, then immediately closed her eyes and opened her mouth.
Soya: "????"
Soya was a bit confused.
No, why are you opening your mouth?
Doing this really makes it easy for people to misunderstand!
I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress.
Soya looked carefully... uh... it wasn't that Heles opened her mouth on purpose. She had fallen asleep. It seemed she had truly exhausted all her energy, not even having the strength to stay conscious.
This female Destroyer sleeps with her mouth open. She looks kinda cute.
"Wake up, wake up, now is not the time to sleep." Soya patted Heles's cheek, trying to wake her up.
Heles slowly woke up, her eyes dazed. Then she felt her body was still very weak, as if something had hollowed her out. She didn't even have the strength to lift a hand.
"So... how did Quitela leave this cube? Was he also drained of all his energy?" Heles asked weakly, her voice hoarse.
"Uh, I took him through a time-space travel, and then he was dropped off by the cube. He escaped by luck, you could say." Soya replied, a hint of relief in his tone.
"I see... Destroyers are not allowed to travel through time-space! That's why he was dropped by the cube!" Heles suddenly understood, coming to a realization. She urgently said, "You hurry up and travel through time-space now, put me down. I don't want to be stuck in this damn cube anymore."
"I don't want to go to another time-space right now. There are still matters to handle here. Let's talk about it after I finish handling them." Soya shook his head, refusing Heles's request.
Heles: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Heles +666!"
"You could go to another time-space first, put me down, and then come back. Wouldn't that work? It wouldn't delay you much." Heles said impatiently, her tone filled with annoyance.
"Traveling through time-space consumes a lot of stamina. I don't want to waste that much stamina on this right now." Soya shook his head in refusal, his attitude firm.
Heles's pretty face darkened. She glared at Soya with anger in her eyes, but due to her physical weakness, she didn't even have the strength to get angry.
"Also, if I come back you'll definitely attack me. I'm no match for a Destroyer like you." Soya added, stating his concern.
"You can rest assured, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. Why would I possibly attack you? I promise!" Heles quickly assured, forcing a smile on her face, though it looked more like she was about to cry.
"Negative emotional value from Heles +666!"
Soya: "..."
As long as negative emotional value is being provided, Soya couldn't possibly believe Heles's nonsense.
A woman's words are deceitful ghosts.
Mom said, the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying, and the less attractive a woman is, the more shameless she is when she lies.
A woman with a figure like Heles definitely knows how to lie too. I won't fall for it.
"Um... just bear with it a little longer... Once I finish handling matters in this parallel world, I'll let you go. I keep my word." Soya raised his hand in assurance, an earnest expression on his face.
Heles: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Heles +1000!"
Soya felt waves of guilt. And you say you won't attack me?
Your negative emotional value is 1000, clearly you hate me to death.
Once you get out, you'll definitely pound me into mincemeat.
